I just purchased a T41 thinkpad with the intention of running trisquel gnulinux and was disapointed to recieve a message when booting from the cd that trisquel dose not support my prosesor and and that i should install a system that dose.
Thats life er?
Rather than downloading these masive ISO files on the off chance that one of them will work, the question is dose anyone have one of these machines running a up to date vertion gnulinux on it?
On that subject i was just looking at gnewsence and the iso is 1.1 gigerbites. What was wrong with a 650 megabite file that would sit on a cd? What is the advantage of these big ISO files?
thanks for reading...

"This kernal requires following features not present on the CPU:
pae
Please use a kernel appropriate to your cpu."
is the message i receive when i turn on the pc and ask it to boot.

You can use the text installer. It will give you a choice to install a version without pae (I think as you will see many different kernel names). As to the Gnewsense question look here: http://www.gnewsense.org/Mirrors

OK . Using Trisquel 6.0 i686 32 bit. On booting from the live disk i selected the option for install in text mode and i receaved the same error. So were you refering to a different image, or are you mistaken?
thanks for taking the time.
I think BlinkArrow was referring to the NetInstall. That tiny ISO. The rest of the operating system is to be installed through APT. If you want the default desktop, you simply have to run this command from the newly installed system:
$ sudo apt-get install trisquel trisquel-recommended

I suppose the obvious option is to install a version that dose support hte hardwear. There a version to be sugested? 4.0 rings a bell from my readin on the forums. is it still supported?
Trisquel 4.0 does not receive any (desktop?) updates anymore. It is based on Ubuntu 10.04, whose support for the desktop ended in May. You should not use it. Especially if you worry about the security of your system.
Today, only Trisquel 6.0 is supported.
When I tried to install Trisquel on my Dell Inspiron 8600 [0], I had the same problem as you. (pny) I tried booting the netinstall CD, but the kernel to run the installer also requires PAE.
I finally worked around this problem, [1] but you will need access to a computer that reports PAE as one of its features, and also be able to insert the Thinkpad's hard drive into it.
